    A former Grenades FC midfielder has died after being stabbed multiple times in St Lucia on Monday evening, following Carnival celebrations.

    Sherman Augustin, a St Lucian national who played a pivotal role in Grenades FC’s 2022/23 title-winning season in Antigua and Barbuda, was attacked in the Vigie area. He was rushed to Owen King European Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

    Police in St Lucia have launched an investigation into the incident. No arrests have been reported.

    Grenades FC confirmed the news in a social media post, expressing condolences to his family: “We have just learnt of the tragic death of our former player Sherman Augustin in St Lucia. On behalf of Grenades FC we extend condolences to his family. Sleep well Sherman.”

    Club president Chester Hughes paid tribute to Augustin’s contribution, recalling the midfielder’s influence on and off the pitch.

    “From Castries to the Caribbean stage, Sherman Augustin brought pride, passion, and power to Grenades’ midfield,” Hughes wrote. “He was a game-changer—helping lead us to our historic 2022/23 league title, stepping up in the CFU Club Shield, and showing true heart every time he wore the Grenades jersey.”

    He continued: “A natural leader on and off the field, Sherman represented everything we stand for: discipline, humility, and a hunger to win. He was also the life of the party at club events, a healthy eater, and a true Lucian when it came to celebrating.”

    Hughes concluded his tribute by saying, “We honour you, Sherman — and we’re proud to have had you in the Grenades family. Rest in peace, baller.”

    Augustin was widely regarded as a talented footballer with a promising future.

    Authorities have not yet released further information regarding the circumstances of the attack.
